Jose Miguel Aza Andrade of Pineville took a chance on a $10 scratch-off and won the first $1 million top prize in a new lottery game.

Andrade bought his lucky Cashword King ticket from B & M Food Service on Lancaster Highway in Pineville.

When Andrade arrived at lottery headquarters Tuesday, he had a decision to make. He could choose to receive the prize as an annuity of $50,000 over 20 years or a lump sum of $600,000. He chose the lump sum of $600,000 and, after required tax withholdings, took home $394,500.

The Cashword King game debuted in August with four top prizes of $1 million. Three $1 million prizes remain to be claimed.
